The PL111 primecell is just a scanout device. It has no GPU embedded in it. It's just like the Armada/Dove DRM stuff - if a GPU is provided it's an entirely separate piece of IP, and will likely remain a separate non-DRM driver. In the case of PL111, PL111 is not manufacturer specific so the GPU can be any standalone GPU. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
